Description

I was very impressed with the Voxy chunks and thought, great, now I can turn down my render distance a bit and let the farther-away chunks be handled by Voxy.

Then I noticed that, for some apparent reason, the fog changed. I really liked the environmental fog at the previous render distance and was wondering why that should affect the Voxy fog. After testing it a bit, I found that the voxy fog greatly depended on the vanilla render distance.

Example

The only difference in the settings is the changed render distance; everything else is the same.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the three vanilla render-distance settings shown in the report while keeping the other settings unchanged. Trace how Voxy fog and render-distance values are handled, then verify that changing vanilla render distance no longer changes Voxy fog behavior and rerun the comparison.
